Frequently Asked Questions

What are Steve Holland's most significant contributions to the military?

What is the recommended daily calorie intake for a mission, and how does it change during combat?

For missions not involving constant movement, 2500 calories per day is recommended. However, during intense combat operations, individuals can burn up to 6000 calories daily due to high physical exertion.

What are the key features of the Next Generation Squad Weapon (NGSW) program?

The NGSW program has down-selected SIG and General Dynamics. SIG's offering uses a 6.8x51mm round with a steel-bottom casing to handle extreme pressures, while General Dynamics uses a 6.8mm polymer casing. The goal is a round with greater range and armor penetration than 5.56mm.

What are the pros and cons of carrying a knife on an ankle?

Carrying a knife on an ankle is generally discouraged because it slows movement and is hard to access quickly. While some law enforcement carry backup pistols there, active pursuers typically avoid it due to these drawbacks.
